Fine Blanking Process Sheet Metal

It ranges from 0 0003.

Fine blanking process sheet metal. The process requires a triple action fine blanking press. Blanking produces the outside features of the component while piercing produces internal holes or shapes. Initially the gear blank in the form of a sheet is compressed between the blank holder and die. Closing force counterpressure and blanking pressure forces are individually and infinitely adjustable.

Fine blanking is similar to extrusion where the metal is extruded through die cavities to form the desired gear tooth geometry. Which blanking process sheared the sheet metal in three type of force separately applied. The sheet metal stock is placed over the die in the blanking press. Fine blanking process is one the specialize type of process.

Most of the equipment and setup for fine blanking is similar to conventional blanking. Fine blanking is a high precision metal forming process used extensively in the automotive heavy duty electronics medical lawn and garden and general industrial industries. For example disk or plane washers are manufactured using blanking operation. The web is created after multiple components have been produced and is considered scrap material.

The fine blanking provides parts having smooth edge better flatness and high tolerance. The working principle fine blanking of a typical spur gear is presented in fig. Blanking operation in sheet metal as explained in the above image the blanking operation produces an enclosed part from a large piece of sheet metal. It is also similar to stamping but differs in the sense that it uses two opposing dies to form the gear from sheet material.

A die cut edge normally has four attributes. The die instead of having a cavity has a cutout in the shape of the desired part and must be custom made unless a standard shape is being formed. The slugs produced by piercing internal features are also considered scrap. Blanking and piercing are shearing processes in which a punch and die are used to produce parts from coil or sheet stock.

Fineblanking is a specialty type of metal stamping that can achieve part characteristics such as flatness and a full sheared edge to a degree that is nearly impossible using a conventional metal cutting or punching process. The blanking process requires a blanking press sheet metal stock blanking punch and blanking die. Punch direction press counter punch force compressive stress. The only addition operation needed is the removal of a slight burr.

In fineblanking the manufactured product needs to have a full contact surface on the edge of the part. Fine blanking permits 3 d composite processing including coining semi shearing bending and drawing. Fine blanking is a fully automated precision metal working stamping process. The blanking process forces a metal punch into a die that shears the part from the larger primary metal strip or sheet.

A typical fine blanking tool is a single station compound tool for producing a finished part in one press stroke. The terms piercing and punching can be used interchangeably.
